Just curious to find out how the Traction Control works (KH Verada)
I grew up with V8's a Limited Slip Diffs... so I would have assumed that to have Traction Control, you would need a LSD?? Can anyone enlighten me??

Cuts engine power to reduce wheelspin, after ABS speed sensors detect excessive speed discrepancies.

Its actually more sophisticated than traction control it is really trace control so it does more than just sense slip like the VX/Y Holdens.

as stated, traction control is basiically for the drive wheels only, where as the verada has trace-control whcih is closer to ESP than traction control, but incoproates a bit of both.

and as said again, it uses the abs sensor to detect different wheels speeds, and knowing the wheel speeds the computer can generally tell what the car is doing, and how to stop it.

You don't need a LSD to have traction control, its not a magical diff that gives you more traction if thats what your thinking. Having a LSD should greatly reduce the need for traction control.

Its not that great, some people think it gives you more traction so you can go faster but it just makes you go slower so you have traction.

It does help a lot on the wet.
I have had late model commodores where the car will just pretty much stop by killing engine power in the middle of an intersection. Basically nothing happens.
At least the Verada trction control allows a certain amount of wheel spin allowing the car to still move from a stand still.
I think it actualy works quite well.

There is a vacuum operated bellow ontop of the TCL TB that closes the butterfly when wheel spin is detected. Not super sofisticated, but it works (and makes the TB assembly on a TCL car flipping rediculously disproportionate to even the motor it's bolted to!).
